Blowing snow studies in the Canadian Arctic Shelf Exchange Study, 2003–04
Abstract Between mid January and early May 2004, during the Canadian Arctic Shelf Exchange Study 2003–04 expedition, we conducted a field project in which we deployed blowing‐snow particle counters, visibility sensors, a FlowCapt device, snow bags, an electric field meter and other instruments relat...
